What does SURAH mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A soft, twill-weave fabric, usually of silk or a silk blend, with a fine ribbed surface.
Surah is a lightweight fabric woven with a diagonal twill pattern that gives it a subtle rib and a slight sheen, traditionally made of pure silk though modern versions may blend in other fibers. Dressmakers favor surah for scarves, ties, and linings because it drapes softly without the stiffness of heavier silks. The same word, usually capitalized, also names a chapter of the Quran, a completely separate meaning from the fabric.
